If we were all injected with truth serum prior to Saturday’s Texas Tech football game at Oklahoma, we would have all been forced to admit that we expected the Big 12 opener to play out just as it did. The fact that the No. 6 Sooners routed the 27.5-point underdog Red Raiders 55-16 is about as surprising as the sun rising in the East.
But what was surprising is that the Red Raiders put up no fight at all and looked as if they would have rather stayed home than try to score a season-altering win.
